Training co-ordinator Anna Gilderoy celebrated her first trip to Aintree by landing the judges’ style award.

The 25-year-old, from Durham, beat nine others to win a £35,000 Range Rover and an £8,000 shopping package. She wore a £70 Asos cream and gold backless dress, gold watch and fascinator.

She said: “I’m totally shocked. I’ve always wanted to come, but couldn’t last year. My auntie bought me tickets for my birthday — so this is the best birthday present ever. I only bought a ­second-hand VW Golf two months ago. I guess I’ll have to sell it.”
